Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc on New York City and the surrounding region, but from the wreckage rose a profusion of design inspiration.

This exhibition presents 10 ideas for preparing the northeastern seaboard of the United States for future super storms.

Each proposal was a winner or a finalist in the competition “Rebuild by Design,” a federally sponsored competition for improving the region’s resilience to the effects of climate change. Innovative projects like the Big U, a protective recreational strip that hug’s 10 miles of particularly vulnerable coastline along Manhattan’s southern tip, are already in development, and plans are on view in this eponymous exhibition.
